Do Ducks schedule cupcake foes?
By Erick Studemcka
Emerald Sports Reporter
Whilp Oregon was dismantling
UNLV MR) Iasi Saturday. Pacrf
u:-10 Conference rival Arizona
nearly pulled off tin' upset of Ihi*
season, losing8-7 to first-ranked
Miami
rill- previous week, while the
Dot ks were hosting Texas Terh,
Northwt?<I rival Washington was
playing national power Nebras
ka at home
Could il he possible that Ore
gon is dm kmg' the national
collegiate football powers in
hopes of gaining a few easy non
confereni e wins' Wouldn't Ore
gon's athletic budget woes be
improved if the Ducks could
pla .1 Miami or Nebraska in
front of a vild-oul Aulzen Sladi
um. rather than the 30,000 fans
the Ducks have been drawing
for recent games'
The answers to these questions,
as with most concerned with big
lime collegiate athletics, lioils
down to economic s (with some
scheduling logistics and unfore
seen circumstances thrown in for
good measure )
"We schedule football games
several years in advance." said
Oregon Sports Information Direc
tor Steve Hellyer "What we try
to do is schedule a home and
away series with quality teams,
such as a Big 10 or Southwest
Conference school
With games sc heduled years
in advance - up until the year
2000 as of now - there? is little
Oregon can do about the quality
of its opponent in any given
year For example, when Ore
«i m plays at (nlo State on Sapt
13, 1097. the Buckeyes could
very well be the No 1 team in
the country, or they could he
Big-10 also-rans. The point be
ing, there is no way to predict
the quality of an op|xinenl years
into the future
But why is it that teams like
Notre Dame. Miami, and Michi
gan never seem to come to
bugtine?
"We don't have a big enough
stadium to be able to guarantee
them the amount of money it
would take to gel them to travel
out for a game." said Rich Brooks,
Oregon's head football coach and
athletic director. "Washington is
able in gel a team like Nebraska
out here because they have a
71.000-seal stadium and can gen
erate the net essarv funds.11
Bn ause of the high guarantees
required by the national con
tenders, it can lx- more profitable
for the Ducks to draw fewer peo
ple lo a game against a less-pop
ular opponent who requires a
smaller guarantee
But why do teams like Utah,
Fullerton Stale. New Mexico
State and other schools of lesser
quality always seem lo show up
on Oregon's schedule’
"What we try to do when we
plan our non-conference games
is to schedule one outstanding
team, one quality team, and one
lesser team." Brooks said. “We
already have to play eight Pac-10
games each season, which means
we have a difficult schedule to
begin with, as the Pac-10 is prob
ably the toughest conference in
the country.''
Brooks said that he felt Ore
gon s non-conference opponents
this season had fallen into his
predisposed categories, with
Texas Tech being an outstanding
team. Hawaii a quality team, and
UNLV a lesser quality team
IINLV, d should he noted, was
not on the Ducks' original 1992
schedule, as Long Reach Stale
was the original opponent until
the 49ers dropped their program
last year
"Look what has happened."
Brooks said. "Some felt that
Hawaii was not a strong team to
have on the schedule, hut they're
:t-() now and in many polls."
Hawaii has risen this week to No.
7 in the New York Times com
puter football poll, verifying
Box iks' opinion of the Rainbows
living a "quality" team.
Brooks also pointed out that
Arizona and Washington also had
their "soft" opponents along with
their games against national pow
ers Arizona has Utah State and
New Mexico Stale on their non
conference schedule, and Wash
ington will play Pacific, one of
the worst Division I teams in the
nation
And if you can’t wait until
1997 for Oregon's game against
Ohio Stale, what other interest
ing non-conference games can
fans look forward to in the inter
im?
There is the home game against
Iowa Sept. 24. 1994. and on Sept
9.1995, Oregon will play Illinois.
But if you can't get tickets to
those games, there should be
plenty of room at Autzen on Sept.
21, 1996.
That's vvtien Fullerton State
will tie tack in town
EDWARDS
Continued Iron Page SB
And what is Edward's vision of a gnat game?
"I'd like to be more consistent." he said "I've
played pretty consistent this year, but I want to
play a perfect game Not miss any assignments,
make great bits, and just do what I'm supposed to
do play after play
Edwards is following in the footsteps of many
great linebackers that have come out of Oregon
But Edwards said he. and fellow outside line
backer Ernest Jones, are loo busy carving out their
own niche to worry about who came before them.
"Andy Conner. I’ete Brantley those guys were
great, but I think Ernest and I are starting a new
tradition of what a linebacker's supposed to lie,"
he said. "We’re trying to build our own reputa
tions."
Edwards nearly lost the opportunity to earn that
reputation when he was suspended from the team
missing Oregon's opener this year - because he
wasn't getting the job done in the classroom
“That helped me realize that si :hool is where I
wanted to be." he said "When you lose something
you like, you gel a reality chei k It bothered me
not being able to play in the first game of the sea
son. but that was my own fault "
Edwards learned his lesson the hard way. but
thanks to that "reality i het k." he's still smiling.
